Macon County is reporting one newly-confirmed case of COVID-19. The overall number is 204 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the county.
Meanwhile Illinois Health officials on Wednesday announced an additional 78 people have died of COVID-19 in Illinois and another 625 have tested positive statewide.
That’s the lowest number of new cases reported by the state in a single day since March 30, when the state reported 461 cases before the brunt of the pandemic gripped Illinois.
The latest figures from the Illinois Department of Public Health raise the state’s coronavirus death toll to 6,095.
The toll now officially includes 9-month-old Chicagoan Joseph Myles, who died in late March. Final autopsy results released by the Cook County medical examiner’s office attributed his death to COVID-19, a tragic rarity for infants thus far in the pandemic, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
